Is it allowed to stop on a dual carriageway or motorway?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
On **motorways and dual carriageways**, it is **prohibited to stop** except in specific situations and in designated areas, such as **service areas**. This is because stopping on these roads can be very dangerous due to the high speed of vehicles.
- **Emergencies**: If a vehicle breaks down or has an accident, it must stop on the **hard shoulder** or in the **central reservation**. In these cases, it is important to turn on the **hazard lights** and, if possible, exit the road at the first available exit.
- **Designated areas**: Stops are only allowed in specific areas such as service areas, where it is safe to stop without interrupting the flow of traffic.
Therefore, the correct answer is that you cannot stop on motorways or dual carriageways, except in areas designated for this purpose, such as service areas.
